Westonbirt Arboretum - Cycle of Life

Handling objects combine with RFID technology to explain the lifecycle of a tree at Westonbirt. Visitors learn more about how and why the arboretum’s team of specialists care for each tree from the initial planting to its maturity and eventual decline.

The Forestry Commission's new Biffa Award Welcome Building at Westonbirt Arboretum was opened on 24th June 2014. It features the Christopher Mitchell Information Centre, packed full of fun and useful information about the arboretum. Wide Sky Design was part of a production team put together by Outside Studios, designers of the interpretation in the new building. The project was kindly supported by a number of charitable trusts, organisations and individuals including the Heritage Lottery Fund and the Biffa Award.
